Public expenditure shows how the government uses the money it collects or borrows to deliver services to citizens.

Good expenditure performance means money is being directed to the right priorities and used efficiently to improve lives. When government spending grows without matching value, the country faces problems such as unfinished projects, service delivery gaps, and rising debt. But when funds are allocated and used well, public services improve, and communities feel the impact.

Strong expenditure performance ensures:

• Funding for essential services like education, health, and roads
• Proper use of public resources without waste
• Completion of key projects on time
• Better outcomes for citizens and communities
